ABSTRACT:
A roll conveyor includes a pair of parallel, spaced apart stationary beams and a plurality of elongate cylindrical rollers supported in parallel, side-by-side spaced apart relation for rotation relative to the beams. The rollers are supported and driven individually, each rotated with respect to a pair of non-rotating, coaxial and axially spaced apart first and second shafts. The first shaft is stationary and supports a motorized pulley. A cylindrical housing of the pulley is mounted concentrically and rotatably relative to the stationary shaft. An end plate integral with the housing is shaped to provide an interference fit with a flange secured to one end of the roller, to coaxially align the roller and motorized pulley. The opposite end of the roller includes an idler end region containing an axially inward portion of the second shaft. An axially outward portion of the second shaft is mounted slidably in the axial direction but prevented from rotating. The slidable shaft accommodates thermal expansions and contractions of the roller.
